The Secret Life of Parkinson's is a podcast created by Parkinson's patients, sharing their stories and interviewing others, on things we deal with on a daily basis. It's hard for people with PD to talk to others about the disease because sometimes it's difficult for the patient themselves to describe what they are feeling. Talking to other PD patients helps us express what we are going through in ... more

Thank you team especially Jessica and Brian for giving up your time to educate people on Parkinson and share your own experiences. Your guests are equally valuable. I was diagnosed in August 2025 and have listened to all your podcasts and feel much more informed of my diagnosis. Thank you!
I am a man of 51 years of age and I have PD. This podcast is a refreshing way of looking and living life with PD. I am very thankful for the two of them for everything they share.
I am both a physician and a person with Parkinson’s. I listen to about a half dozen different Parkinson’s podcasts on a regular basis. I always look forward to tapping into Jessica and Brian, like they’re at my dining room table and we’re all allowed to ask the questions we really want to ask. Their delivery is unstrained, and feels like it is spoken with a smile.
Thank you to the team at The Secret Life of Parkinson’s
How many times can you say “like” and “um” in your conversation? So annoying. Jessica is bossy and at times downright rude to Brian. Put your ego in your back pocket, Jessica. It’s not all about you.
This podcast is helping me come to terms with my devistating diagnostics I live in London England. Jessica I don’t know if you have see. It yet but the podcast Movers and shakers have some positive news this week. There is also a song that they have made. Please watch it and pass the word. United we stand
Best wishes Janis
